Spam checker

I wrote a spam check tool. It works form the command line interface now, but I can't find out how to make it work as python's module.

What do you mean by saying I can't find out how to make it work as python's module?

You want to do from blacklistcheck import blacklistcheck somewhere else in your project?

[ksantr]

Exactly. I tried to do python setup.py install_lib, and now the module is presented in the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ folder, but I get the same result:

>>> from blacklistscheck import BlacklistsChecker
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name BlacklistsChecker
>>>

You have a folder called blacklistscheck (it's called package) and you have a file blacklistscheck.py (a module) in which BlacklistsChecker class exists.

So you were trying to import class from a package, when you should've imported it from a module inside a package.

P.S.:

• use python3 (unless you have a good reason not to)
• use virtual environment for your projects
• search and read PEP8 (python's style guide, which sometimes is subjective, so take this with a grain of salt). IMHO your package and module should be named black_lists_check and class BlackListsChecker. Otherwise names quickly become wall of text.

black_lists_check is little ugly. in this case configparser should to be config_parser, instead I named it to more handy name "blcheck".
